To many people, Wednesday, September 24, 1986 was just another day out of the year, but to those of us at Monmouth Col- lege that day will go down in history as the day of the Great Flood. Twenty-four inches of water poured into the basement of the Student Center, raising the carpet off the floor in places and knock- ing out a wall in the back of the game room. Some outgoing mail also got wet and the back door to the Student Center was crushed by the heavy rainfall. The Student Center wasn ' t the sole recipient of Mother Nature, however. Other casualties of the Great Flood were the gym, with water covering about a quarter of the floor, and the col- lege van, which was completely flooded out. Other victims were the students themselves, who had to put up with flooded cars and even flooded rooms, especially near Gibson dorm. Even though the flood did some extensive damage, there was a positive aspect to it. Everyone pulled together to help clean up and repair the damages, which really exemplified the spirit and unity of Monmouth College. The wind ensemble practices hard for performance. Opening Monmouth College Students wade to class after the heavy rain.
